Everyone,
Thank you so much for the responses.
It's so good to hear from you all. Mama I will try and come by when we make our circle up through there. Andrew, I've thought about you from time to time too. It would be great to see you again. I sure want to come up to Sheridan area and look over the old stomping grounds anyway, got to have a beer at the Mint for old times sake, celebrate that I'm still here and able to do that. Brandy, you are the second that has told me to look hard at the Casper area. Colonialshooter said as much when we were in Douglas a few weeks ago. I had always looked at Casper as a place to drive through to get where I wanted to be, but now I think I should come and take another hard look at it. Sounds like Glenrock needs someone who knows what the heck he's doing when doing repairs. A bolt and a nut, really? What the heck was he thinking? Kelly, I think it should be around the 1st of August we head that we head that way. I sign out on terminal leave from the army on the 25th of July. I was thinking of going to the mountains here in Colorado with my son for a few days for some fishing and camping and then head up for a big circle. Thinking it will be about a week, before I have to be in Oklahoma. BAR BAR 2, I would love to meet up. You asked about experience, I have worked at some of the largest ranches in Montana, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Texas. Trained horses all over the place, Michigan, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, and obviously Wyoming. As far as leather work goes I worked for two years in a shop in Oklahoma and worked for a time at National Saddlery in Oklahoma City. I know wherever I settle it will take some time to build a reputation as a great saddle maker, so I know I will need some employment in the meantime. I would prefer something that involves horses and cattle, but I would work as the door greeter at Wally World if that's what it takes to make ends meet. I am just so glad to be coming home, I can hardly stand still. Thanks again to you all, I'll see you soon.
